regex for filename with muliple dots? (adding books)
SOLVED Trying to get a regex for filename with variable number of dots (<2).
I get the following from the tutorial and other threads, (thanks to Starson17 for all your generous contributions):
Untick, "Read metadata from file contents rather than file name"
and the regular expression
Firstauthorname SurnameAuthor - Title.pdf
works with
(?P<author>[^_]+) - (?P<title>.+)
while
Firstauthorname SurnameAuthor. Title.pdf
works with
(?P<author>[^_]+)\. (?P<title>.+)
However
Firstauthorname SurnameAuthor. Title A. Title B. Title C. Title D. Volume 2..pdf
doesn't work with anything I can find.
I want everything between the first "dot white space" and ".pdf" to be read as the title.
Real life example of file name:
Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Roman Antiquities, IV. Books VI.49-VII.pdf
How do I modify
(?P<author>[^_]+)\. (?P<title>.+)
so it ignores special characters after the first dot?
